For the last two days we were honored as part of a STEM
Schools final showcase. 7th and 8th graders learned about the Holocaust. The
kids focused on all aspects of the Holocaust that affected 11.5 million people,
six million where Jews, and 1.2 million where children. The theme, Our
Holocaust Museum, and the children created some amazing showcases.

Music

The upper class wrote a song in honor of Holocaust
Survivors, powerful. Nathan wrote the song, the music, and he copyrighted the
song; four individuals including Nathan sing the song.

The tech aspect of the Holocaust museum was phenomenal. The
kids built a virtual museum using various types software like Blender it’s
awesome.

In 2008, I personally started using Second Life, a virtual
world, and created Holocaust presentations with Fanny. Fanny has her own
avatar.

Science

The science students learned about eugenics, and how Dr.
Josef Mengele distorted the studies by using twins in Auschwitz.

Questions

The kids and teachers immersed themselves into knowing about
the Holocaust.

“Fanny, how old where you?”

“I was 13, the same age as many of you.”

“Fanny, what gave you the will to survive?

“I don’t know how I survived, I was a walking zombie.”

"If you could change one thing that happened to you, what would you change?"
"I'd stand-up and fight evil, and encourage others to fight back against hate."

We need more children learning and caring about humanity,
and the effects of what hatred did to humanity. The Nazi ego caused WWII, created hate, fear, propaganda, and murder millions of innocent men, women, and children for no reason. Can you tell me Why?

The Yimakh Shemo Hitler, did not succeed, he lost the war,
and committed suicide, "I survived.” (Fanny, 2017).

To all my teachers, I thank you for helping me develop,
grow, and helping me overcome many fears. Everyday I learn something new, and I
think about the teachers who never gave up on me, Thank you…

Teachers help us develop from a toddler to adults. Teachers
help us read, write, and develop critical thinking. Teachers also help with our
emotional quotients. Teachers are amazing and we need to stand up for the
teachers and their rights.
